Cookies Anyone?

Chocolate chip cookies, galore!

I made 3 1/2 dozen yesterday...and they actually turned out good! My husband licked the batter and ate almost a dozen throughout the day :P They were fairly moist (although, as with most cookies, one batch came out a little over brown and crunchy...but still tasty). I just had to share that something turned out good on my very first attempt! (which as we all know, isn't that easy to do when trying to go gluten-free) ;)

I'll be glad to post the ingredients if anyone is interested (although, I'm at work at the moment.

Have a blessed day everyone! -Julie :)

I'd love to have the recipe, they sound great.

Does anyone else know of a gluten-free Shortbread cookie recipe?

Thanks!

Hi Dana,

I just got home; I'll be happy to post the recipe:

gluten-free-Chocolate Chip Cookies:

3/4 C sugar

3/4 C brown sugar (firmly packed)

1 C butter or margarine

1 egg

mix together; then add:

2 1/4 C Gluten-free Flour Mix (sifted)

1 tsp. xan. gum

1 tsp. unflavored gelatin

12 oz. chocolate chips

Bake @ 350 for 10-14 minutes :P

Tips I found helpful:

Let the oven preheat well

I used gluten-free/CF chocolate chips; although that was a personal thing-not necessary

I used 1/2 Spectrum (tra?) gluten-free/CF margerine and 1/2 regular butter

I made sure to pack the brown sugar and sift the flour mix well (I used Bob's R.M.)

The recipe made 3 1/2-4 dozen "average" cookies or it can make 6 dozen ity-bity cookies ;)

Enjoy! -Julie

Also, for the cooking-challenged (or those who just don't like to cook), Arrowhead Mills has a choc. chip cookie mix--amazing cookies

celiac3270,

Is the mix expensive? The only reason that I made my own is because I can make 12 dozen for the price of 2 dozen sent by Ener-G...and surprisingly enough, mine tasted better! :P But I've never tried the Arrowhead Mills brand though, I like some of their cereals....I'm always looking for "quick fix" junk food too! Thank you for the suggestion. I don't always have time to cook, but really, it didn't take but about 45 minutes to make all of those cookies this weekend...not to bad ;)

I have two boxes in the cabinet -- one cost $3.59, the other, $3.69. They make a nice amount of cookies, too. I have LOVED everything I've tried from Arrowhead Mills: the Rice and Shine hot cereal, the chocolate chip cookies, and the white cake is pretty good, too.

Julie (Imsohungry), I made your chocolate chip cookies yesterday. What flour mix do you use? (I'm one of those people that pick and choose flour now like I once would choose between types of tea! Hmm, what do I feel like using today... :lol: )

I used 2/3+1/4 c chickpea flour, 2/3 c soy flour and 2/3 c quinoa flour. I should have thought about the quinoa flour having a strong flavor, but I didn't. I baked a sheet's worth yesterday and tried one. Sorta blech (but my husband said they were okay.) Anyway, this morning while opening presents, I brought the rest of that batch down. My eldest tried one and announced VERY LOUDLY (he's loud in the first place :P ) that these were the most awesome chocolate chip cookies ever! Baffled, I tried one and, omigosh, they are the best! Whatever it is about the recipe and the flours, they melded into a very decedant treat. Mmmm! (So I baked the rest of the batch today and am not letting anyone eat them until tomorrow.)

Thank you for posting the recipe!

Hey Freya! I'm so glad that the cookies baked well for you!!! :P Happy Holidays! I'm actually making the cookies too for a "Christmas treat"...the hubby loves them, and I've got to admit that I'm hooked as well :rolleyes:

You asked what flour I use...mostly the Bob's Red Mill gluten-free flour mix, and that is because I live in a rather rural area and it is sold at Kroger (our local grocery). I would love to experiment with many different flours, but gosh, it's expensive! So, I'm slowly restocking everything and adding variety when I can afford it ;)

I'm just so tickled those cookies turned out for you and your family! Enjoy the holidays :D

Much hugs and happy baking! B);) -Julie

      Get tested for vitamin deficiencies. Though neuropathy can be a symptom of celiac, it can also be caused by deficiencies due to poor digestion caused by celiac and could be easier to treat.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much...

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.
